183: Removal of fire hazards

You could also call this:

“Council rules for getting rid of fire dangers have changed”

This law about removing fire hazards has been cancelled. It used to be part of the rules about what local councils could do regarding people who own or live on land. The law was removed on 1 July 2018 when a new fire safety law came into effect. You don’t need to worry about following this rule anymore because it no longer exists.
